And that's it for this week. I hope you found something of interest here.

Yesterday was the first day in months that I went upstairs in the afternoon and tried to create something. I just couldn't settle. It was kind of scary. Nothing came to me. I think I am losing my artistic MoJo. I hope not, but you have heard of writer's block? Well, I had artist's block and it didn't feel good at all . . . do you think I could be depressed? Its not like I don't have lots to look forward to and lots to inspire and uplift me. I am feeling a bit out of sorts but cannot put a finger on it . . . its okay though, I usually am able to shake off the funk rather quickly.

Hi, Marie! So much fun with paper today! Those paper hyacinths are especially pretty--what a pretty idea! And what a lovely blanket-with the fabric/quilting & crochet combined! Golf balls turned into garden friend--so clever! Artist's block is a VERY real thing, and I think now matter what creative genre, we all experience is sometimes--even for just short times. It can be scary though, especially when one is very active in making/creating something every day. But you've had a LOT going on lately, and it could be you just need to process things, and just be where you are... The creative mojo will come back. It usually does! Time in prayer with it helps too. ;) Maybe God is preparing you for something new, and this is some breathing pace before you begin... so maybe see it as a rest. :) LOVE YOU!! ((BIG HUGS))

I do have a small nook here at my new home for crafting. Right now everything is a bit of a jumble, but it's on my list to do next. It will feel good to be able to get back to creating something...anything. All this moving and getting has quite unsettled me for sure.

Oh dear Marie, it's not like you not to be able to sit down and find inspiration...however I think it's perhaps just a time to try to settle down for a complete rest from artistic things and even writing ( except blogging !)...you have had an awful lot on your mind these last few months what with Todds hospital visits, yourself not being that well either, then our visitors coming, I know we loved it but maybe we just try too hard and now that they have gone and Todd is hopefully feeling better it's time just to sit and enjoy the silence...please take care of yourself. When is it that your daughter is coming over ? You want to be fit and on the move when she arrives....God Bless xxx

Thanks all, I don't think it helps that I have this knee problem at the moment and I have discovered that a stalker who I thought had forgotten all about me has cropped up again. Scary stuff. Maybe I just need to create different things. We will see! Love you all and apologise for the group comment, but my knee makes it hard for me to sit at the computer for very long. Love you guys! All of you! xoxo
